Can I get into UCF/FAU with these scores?

<p>I have a weighted GPA of 3.9 unweighted 3.6 or 3.5, one of those…
ACT score 18 (I currently just retook the ACT yesterday, but I doubt I did any better)
SAT score of 1230 (I am retaking this next month)
I am a high school student who is graduating with my AA degree in May
I am currently in the process of completing a citizens scholar program: it’s where you do 300 hours in your community
I haven’t done any extracurricular activities except for track and field my junior year.
That’s about it, I have applied for 4 different colleges for fall term and submitted them BUT I haven’t put in my ACT and SAT scores yet so I will probably get those in by April since the deadline is May 1st. I don’t think I will get in because I have a bad ACT and SAT score and because I’m turning it in REALLY close to the deadline. At this point there is really no hope for me with the ACT, the SAT i’m going to study really hard for this past month since I’m retaking it in March.</p>

<p>Do you think there is still a chance I can get in because of the citizens scholar program? I heard of some people who had really low GPA and test scores but got into the college because they did the program. </p>

<p>If you can get your ACT up to a 20, you have a solid shot at FAU. If you can get your SAT up close to 1400 (improve each section by about 50 points)…you have a solid shot. It’s very doable! See if you can get some tutoring (by other students at your HS)…it can make a difference. </p>

<p>Also take a look at FGCU (or UWF), it’s requirements are a bit less than FAU’s (think 19 on ACT and 1300’s for SAT). In fact UWF last date to accept ACT/SAT scores is 6/30, so you can even take both test again…</p>

<p>The deadline for applying regular admission is May 1’st, so you will be able to use your new test scores.</p>

<p>Good Luck!!</p>
